illingness to travel could be a requirement to

be on the baseball team. Dodge Rock field is

passable for softball practices and some games,

and it is s
Wufficient for the intramural games, but the men

need a field which meets official baseball specifications.

Fortunately, the College is able to lease Joe DiMaggio

field from St. Petersburg Junior College. The Cougars

also are able to practice there every day.

The fans pile into cars and drive the short distance to

watch their team under the lights for the late afternoon

and evening games. Most of the team’s games are

doubleheaders and stretch into the early evening hours

when it begins to cool off. It is not uncommon to see

sweatshirts and sweaters dot the stands along with a few

jackets. There is nothing like watching a baseball game

from behind home plate. The Cougars are a scrappy

bunch and play hard to win. The fans appreciate their

effort and are very vocal in their cheers and praise.

Friends yell out to the players and constantly scream

encouragement to them throughout the game. With the

best season record in the history of the college, the team

has earned the respect of a loyal following.
